One-Way Street: Childhood in Berlin at the Turn of the Century
14.99 €
This collection consists of two brilliant memoir texts written by Walter Benjamin in the mid-1920s ("One-Way Street") and in the early 1930s ("Berlin Childhood at the Turn of the Century"). Both consist of fragments that perceptively analyze the fabric of everyday life. Cross-cutting themes - the interplay of past and present, the unheard footsteps of history, nostalgia, collecting, etc.. - closely link this seemingly optional autobiographical prose to Benjamin's major theoretical projects on Baudelaire, the cultural history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and, more broadly, the fate of modernity.
